Swan Lake
Program Alexei Ratmansky's

Swan Lake

Apr 18 - May 12, 2024
The original version of the world's most famous ballet, Swan Lake, lovingly reconstructed by today's most celebrated choreographer, Alexei Ratmansky.

The sold-out New York Times Best in Dance smash hit makes a triumphant return to the Miami City Ballet repertoire!

Following its North American premiere in our 2021/2022 season, this “crisp and refreshingly clean” (The New York Times) sophisticated interpretation of Swan Lake, lovingly reconstructed by the renowned Alexei Ratmansky, will enchant audiences once again.

Over fifty of MCB’s phenomenally talented dancers “lend flavor and picturesque richness” to Tchaikovsky’s splendid score, brought to life by MCB’s glorious live orchestra, creating a luminous production of a classic that is all its own.

Performed to live orchestra
Recommended for ages 4 and up
